Reylo In The Rim - Outro

 Geek19 of CannotGetYourShipOut and I wrote a lot about Rebellion in the Rim awhile back, and we're done writing about it now.  You can look at our previous articles:

Reylo in the Rim - Basic Fleet Building - Teamwork Makes The Teams Work - Selecting Planets - Going Through a Turn - Actually Fighting - It's Not Easy Playing Green

I've been busy.  What?

Rebellion in the Rim - Grand Moff Variant v1.1

 Click Here to download the Variant!

That's right!  It's v1.1 of the hip new Grand Moff variant for RitR!  Increasing the players to 8, increasing the complexity slightly, and letting you control a fleet of smaller task forces (or manage a smaller task force under the control of one strategically minded leader!)

New to v1.1:

Lots of Grand Moff only commander abilities!

Restrictions to normal abilities that Grand Moffs shouldn't be using!

Maybe some other stuff!  I forget!

Send me suggestions if you think there's some stuff that should make 1.2, and let me know how these games are going!

ReyLo in the Rim 5 - A Good Day To Play Hard

Let's go through a simple turn.  Like most things in Armada, turn order is important, and we'll see that come into play especially in the Management Phase.

There will be a turn going on in italics that you can follow along with as we go through the steps.

RitR 3: Mygeeto Drift - Team Work Makes the Teams Work

Welcome back to ReyLo in the Rim, where Geek, my Rey Palpatine, cooperates with me, the Ben Skywalker of his dreams.  Speaking of cooperation, we're going to look at how to be a good teammate in Rebellion in the Rim.

2 Rebellion 2 Rim: Basic Fleet Building

This is the article by Geek19 posted on his website - keep your eyes open for Part 3 by me soon! Let's start the RitR discussion by discussing how to build your own fleets for the game. This is one of those "involved" articles I tend to end up writing, so get comfy.

I think these guys are massing near Sullust...

ReyLo in the Rim? - Geek19 & Biggs Semi-Exhaustive Article Blitz

Hello again everyone.  I'm Biggs and I'm partnering with Geek19 over at CannotGetYourShipOut to talk about something we've both been doing a lot of lately - Rebellion in the Rim.  We're going to be doing a lot of articles on it over the next couple weeks / months / whatever, and this article is going to be our jumping off point.  He's writing one similar to this over on his website now.

I'm going to be making a bunch of ReyLo references throughout this because when I asked to join him in his insane quest to write these articles, I did so by spamming him pictures with Kylo holding his hand out for Rey.

RitR - Support Team Upgrade

Another vacation article completed - we're going to take a look at Auxiliary Shields Team, the Support Team upgrade from Rebellion in the Rim, and upgrade that can help you get some extra shields in place before a fight kicks off.

RitR - Generic Officers

Only one officer to talk about here, and that is Expert Shield Tech...

RitR - YT-2400 Ace - Mart Mattin

Matt Martin is an interesting squadron, in that he can do some serious damage to enemy ships that don't take him seriously, and bypasses normal squadron rules.  Let's look at him now:

RitR - YT-1300 Ace - Lando Calrissian

Lando Calrissian - Millennium Falcon - 23 points

While attacking, you may discard a defense token to set 1 die to any face. That die cannot be modified again.

While defending you may spend 1 of your defense tokens to force the attacker to reroll 1 or more dice of your choice.

It's wrong to compare either of the Ace YT-1300 squadrons to their generic counterpart.  The only thing that is the same is the hull.  A much better comparison is Lando vs Han, as both are flying the Falcon, and thus both can't be on the table at the same time in this way.  Also it should be noted that Lando is one of the best Rebel defensive officers, and you can't take him that way if you're running him as a squadron.

Lando's Falcon comes in with the same Speed 3 as Han, and the same double braces.  The same Grit / Rogue combo as well, for better positioning and non-ship activations.  3 points cheaper as well.

His attacks are a modest 2.25 average against squads and 1.00 average against ships, but that's not quite the whole story.  Well, you know how good Maarek Steele is, with the ability to fix a die when attacking?  Well, Lando can do that less often, but with quite a bit more of an oomph behind it.  As long as Lando has a defense token to spend, he can burn it to turn one of his dice to any face.  For both anti-squadron and anti-ship he comes with a Red die, so his floor suddenly becomes 2 damage (if you're willing to discard a token) and his ceiling is a whopping 5 and 3 respectively.

Now, the hard limit on using this ability is twice per game, unless you are playing Asteroid Tactics, where you can do it an awful lot and Lando turns into a monster.

Also you can use defense tokens to reroll attack dice against you which is pretty darn good especially against Blue dice.

RitR - Rebel Officers

Let's talk about the new officers the rebels get in Rebellion in the Rim.  We're going to start with Captain Rex.

Rebellion in the Rim - Imperial Ship Construction (List Building)

With the new Rebellion in the Rim coming out, what should you build your 200 point list out of?  We'll be discussing commanders, and end goals for your ship upgrades later, but right now lets look at each Imperial ship and see what early upgrades you should be looking at while building your list.
